Whether you’re the kind of person who makes New Year’s resolutions or not, as the year comes to a close you will no doubt find yourself reflecting on what has passed and what’s ahead. And maybe you’ll think, “Huh, I could do something about that,” but will you? Going to the gym is great, and so is vowing to eat better and be kinder. But there is one amazing change you can make for yourself that will be permanent and have a positive effect on all aspects of your life: a smile makeover.
Boost Your Resume
Perhaps you’re thinking of the professional opportunities that came and went in 2015. Was it because of your resume? Or did you not reach the goals you set for yourself because your lack of confidence in your appearance impacted your belief in yourself? A simple teeth whitening treatment can be the difference between someone who feels brave enough to smile in an interview and someone who offers a close-mouthed smirk. And the way another person perceives you – particularly in a professional setting – can make or break the deal, land you the job or promotion, or put a real stain on your career prospects.
Love Can Be in the Air
Were there romantic possibilities that didn’t pan out this year? Did you go through a taxing divorce? If you’re ready to start dating again, or breathe new life into the negative outlook you have about your love life, a change to your smile can make all the difference between finding “the one” and going through date after date with new people, permanence forever eluding you. There have been far too many adults who have avoided an attempt to find love at all because they are so embarrassed by the state of their smile. A complete smile makeover – from clearing up periodontal disease to rebuilding the foundation of your smile with restorative dentistry to mind-bogglingly amazing cosmetic treatments like porcelain veneers – will up your game tenfold and make you feel like you have plenty to offer a potential significant other.
Age Is Just a Number
Did you hit an age milestone in 2015? Perhaps you turned 40 and are feeling like there’s more life behind you than ahead of you. Maybe you turned 50 and are ready to kick middle age to the curb. Whatever age you are – 20 or 70 or anywhere in between – there is never a wrong time to change the things that are impacting your happiness. And, for many people, their appearance is the biggest influence on how they feel about themselves and the choices they make in their lives. If you’re looking for the anti-aging secret, we’re happy to share it.
To Your Good Health
The state of your smile affects the state of your health and well-being. Oral health problems can cause headaches, jaw pain, tooth pain, bleeding, and lead to missing teeth. Your amalgam fillings – you know, the silvery-looking ones – contain toxic mercury, which is infiltrating the rest of your body. Composite, mercury-free tooth fillings make all the difference for some people – not only does your smile look natural and complete since the composites are tooth-colored, they are the safest way to correct a cavity.
If you’re only going to make one resolution in 2016, make it this one: Invest in your smile. Whether it’s one procedure or an in-depth smile makeover, you and your well-being are worth the effort for long-lasting, life-changing results.
